Abstract

Electrosurgery is a useful, inexpensive, and a sometimes misunderstood form of surgical energy. A better understanding of the principles of electrosurgery can lead to more widespread use with greater safety. This chapter discusses monopolar electrosurgery as used by the author. Other forms of monopolar electrosurgery, such as argon beam coagulation and fulguration, will not be discussed.
